InnoTrans 2024 | Unimog U 530
Multifunctional vehicle for the city of Zurich's public transport company.
This multifunction vehicle based on the Unimog is used for various maintenance work on the tram network of the City of Zurich’s transport operators (VBZ) with a track gauge of 1,000 mm. The hydraulically driven railroad axles in accordance with EN 15746 class 9A can be used for minimum track radii of 18.5 m. The multifunctional vehicle concept for the city of Zurich consists of a total of 3 Unimogs: two Unimog road-railers, a traditional Unimog implement carrier without rail equipment and a road-railer tandem trailer, which is also integrated into the vehicles' operating concept. Standardised 10-ft modules can be installed on the Unimog. The road-railer tandem trailer can also transport 20 ft modules. The hydraulic power of the Unimog is available for operating these modules.

More information on the road-rail Unimog.
The Unimog manoeuvres in road-rail operations with a high tractive force of up to 1,000 t towed load. This is possible thanks to the torque converter clutch, permanent all-wheel drive, compact axles and drive via the truck’s own wheels. The fully-fledged rail vehicle is flexible at all times thanks to the quick transition between rail and road – not least because the Unimog is full of possibilities that go far beyond shunting: Its attachment and body mounting spaces as well as the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic interfaces make it ideal for a wide range of tasks in the maintenance and repair of the rail infrastructure.
